I agree that your way is the best for a great return assuming he doesn't suffer a serious injury. Achilles injuries are really scary. I feel like the Mavs are playing with fire if he plays another minute.
Yes an Achilles injury would be a major problem. Many other injuries would as well, of course. But it is rare to see a player traded while he is injured, because the other team doesn't know what they are getting. The return is likely to be lowered a lot.
So you are saying if AD ever plays another minute, he will probably have an Achilles injury? Based on what? You can't remove that problem?
IMO the answer is to get him 100% healthy and then play him the right number of minutes. Monitor his health diligently.
* Dumont reportedly "has no problem going into next year with a healthy AD and a healthy Kyrie with Cooper Flagg and seeing what it looks like."
